FIVE Israeli soldiers have been killed in one of the deadliest friendly fire incidents of the Gaza war.
Seven more were wounded three critically when two tanks opened fire on them by mistake.

An army statement said the tanks fired two shells into a building being used as an HQ by the deputy battalion commander.
